Bakery Review

February-March 2018

Virginia Woolf, an English writer, who is considered among the most important modernist twentieth-century authors, had said, ‘One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.’ To that one may add, delectable dessert/s is/are the ultimate, ethereal culmination of dining well. Yet, often one is made to feel guilty about indulging one’s sweet tooth by health freaks. For connoisseurs of desserts, it doesn’t matter what the occasion or the time of the year is;consumption of dessert delicacy is a must. And to keep the health-conscious satisfied, Chefs have now introduced desserts that can be labeled as healthy desserts – no sugar, gluten-free, with fresh fruits. Ashok Malkani examines the dessert trends for 2018 and discovers that there are now even savoury desserts available!

Delicious Dessert Trends

Talk about desserts and many among us are apt to go weak in the knees. Dessert in a dinner can be compared to icing on the cake or the climax to a spectacular movie! There can be no denying the fact that a sumptuous dessert gives a befitting culmination to any meal.

The word dessert comes from the French word desservir, meaning to clear the table. This refers to the fact that dessert was served after the table had been cleared of other dishes.

Desserts around the world have come a long way since they were made. There have been multiple flavour variations by Chefs who have added to the craving of the people for these sweet delicacies. Mirror glazed cakes, where one can see her/his reflection as she/he about to take a bite, have become the latest Internet sensation.

Patisserie Chefs have constantly been coming up with new flavours that not only look appealing but also taste fabulous.

New Trends

So what are the new dessert flavours and what will be the new trends in desserts, especially in the context of Indian foodservice industry? Chef Prabhu from Holiday Inn Chennai OMR IT Expressway, declared, “In my personal opinion, 2018 is expected to be a year where many interesting desserts’ innovations are about to happen. However, the top dessert trends around the world would be desserts for special dietary preferences such as gluten-free, vegan & savoury desserts.”

“During the summer months, main consideration of the Bakery Chefs is to keep the guests hydrated, which draws our attention to seasonal fruits. All we have to do is infuse these fruits in our desserts to make it more tempting in summer. Some of the desserts which we will have in this summer are White Chocolate Mousse with Lychee Granita, Vegan Mango Mousse, Texture of Mango, Guava Lemon Parfait, Fig & Honey Frozen Yoghurt,” he pointed out further.
